CapitalHockey.ca organizes and runs non contact adult recreational hockey programs in the Ottawa area. Established in 1998, our network has over 450 registered members with programs running in both the fall/winter and summer seasons. We pride ourselves on being able to keep a good balance between the competitive nature of the sport and the social aspects of the game. As a result, we have many players who return regularly to our programs season after season.

Unlike most rec hockey programs where teams are established in a pick up hockey format (random chosen), our conveners organize the teams at the beginning of a season to promote a competitive balance while enhancing team chemistry. Once established a player will play on the same team for the entire season. This helps bond friendships and greatly enhances the play on the ice!

We do not use referees to oversee our games but instead have developed a few on ice rules that help maintain the flow of the game. As a result, the pace of our games is typically quicker than most rec programs with minimal stoppages. The result, if you are looking for a good skate, wanting to get some great exercise and have a lot of fun, then a Capitalhockey.ca program could very well be a great fit for you!

The CH network comprises of players of all skill levels and experience. So if you are just starting out, or are looking for a bit more of a higher caliber, we have the group already established and ready for you to join!

Our recreational programs are all run and managed through a proprietary web attendance system that helps the conveners oversee the games. With this system we can determine whether we will have a full compliment of players, or do we need to call in some spares? With a network as established as ours, its rare that we do not have full rosters for every game - another reason why our programs are considered some of the best rec hockey games in Ottawa!

With over 2000 registered members across Canada (and 700+ local to Ottawa goaltenders) the CanadianGoalies.com site is a valuable asset to the CapitalHockey.ca network. With it, we have access to many available goaltenders of varied skills and experience.
